423: What We Learned in 2021
Design Details
Reordering Widgets on Ios
Re ordering widgets on i o s is a hilarious exercise in watching stuff move to places that youwould never expect them to move. Swipe into the camera from the lock screen, but if you swipe left to right, once you're in the camera, you can't get back out. Animations that take too long drives me nuts.
This week, we recap how we grew, and the things we learned, in 2021. In The Sidebar, we look forward to 2022 and talk about some of our personal and professional goals for the new year.
